The History of Banarasi Sarees

From Mughal ateliers to the pit looms of Madanpura — how Banaras became the loom of India.

The History of Banarasi Sarees

Banaras has woven for courts, temples, and weddings for centuries. The city's mohallas — Madanpura, Peeli Kothi, Lohta — still hold the knowledge that turns mulberry silk and zari into cloth with memory.

KASHIKRITI works only with authenticated handloom pieces from these clusters, each tagged with Silk Mark provenance and a unique SKU.
